We have started the bitcommerce project. This will be a large project. Almost as large as bitweaver itself. We have taken the Zencart application version 1.2.5d and are forking to a closely integrated application. The approach is just like the TikiWiki -> ReleaseZero -> ReleaseOne approach for bitweaver:

• First, port the architecture and maintain functionality
• Second, expand functionality and greatly improve modularity.

We have reverted all code to ADODB and have SQL running on multiple platforms. Try to get everything working "as-is" with a pristine Zencart 1.2.5d schema. Slowly migrate the tpl_ files to Smarty templates. sideboxes have been converted. Took about an hour a piece.

Want code?

1. Get the latest bitweaver - bitcommerce requires the latest HEAD branch (upcoming R2) from CVS. These do *NOT* include the bitcommerce package yet, since it is still under development.
2. The only reliable way to get bitcommerce is from our CVS (there is no branch on bitcommerce yet):

Current Status

• A few sites have it running in production and processing live transactions (that's real cash. woo!) If you want to see bitcommerce running on postgres in live production environment, buy something from Viovio.
• The schema is considered to be cooled, though a few small changes are still occuring. Any future schema changes will only be permitted with extreme need.
• MAIN TODO CHORE: Port everything in commerce/pages to php & smarty .tpl pairs. This is a lot of work, and very risky due to the high possibility regressive bug introduction. About 10 of 70 pages have been completed.
